EasyJet has confirmed it will introduce in-flight WiFi for its passengers for the first time next year, using Elon Musk's Starlink satellite communications network.
The budget carrier said customers will be able to connect to the internet while airborne via the SpaceX system. The rollout across easyJet's A320 and A321 fleets is expected to begin in the first half of next year, with completion anticipated by early 2028.
Why easyJet is Adding WiFi
EasyJet chief executive Kenton Jarvis said staying connected matters to many customers in an increasingly digital world, whether holidaymakers want in-flight entertainment or business travellers need to keep up with events on the ground.
Jarvis said: "Innovation is in easyJet's DNA and partnering with SpaceX to bring Starlink's high-speed internet connectivity onboard for the first time will not only further enhance the experience we provide millions of customers, but means we are offering more of the options both business and leisure travellers want when they choose who they fly with."
